Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: June 13, 1864

In the morning our regiment left at White House road on picket and rear guard. Several prisoners. Whole army moved. Rear guard until we crossed the Chickahominy, a narrow, swampy, insignificant stream. Remained near the river — south bank — till dark. Moved on towards Charles City C. H. — camping from 2 A. M. till daylight.
